They didn't win a World Cup without knowing how to sneak a few past the goalie...

Liverpool did not deserve those three points at all - pretty embarrassing effort against a team down to 10 men

Maybe I'm just getting old but the world of soccer as a whole seems to be in a bit of a down cycle right now from a talent and star perspective.

We're way past the 1998-2010 stage where all of Italy, Netherlands, France, England, Spain etc were having Golden Generations at about the same time, and also at the tail end of the Messi, Ronaldo era that dominated 2010-2020.

Really feels like soccer is just lacking that quality right now across the board and there is a bit of a lack of star power and intrigue.

It's like that everywhere as kids these days have too many distractions - TikTok, IG, video games, etc.

There is a decline in talent in all sports and arts/music scene

They'll probably win, but it's looking Grims(by) for United right now.

Um. Early doors yet, but Grimsby up 2-0 on United with another goal called back.

Cheer for someone else devo. Or better yet, cheer for no one. Forcing yourself to watch an atrocious product in the name of loyalty is silly, especially since United would replace you as a fan for a more profitable fan in a heartbeat.

Eh...it doesn't really work that way for hardcore fans.

At this point though? If it stays like this when Onana tries to get on the Bus to go home I dont think Amorim will open the doors.

"Guys....the doors are locked! Guys? Guys!!"

But I'm saying fans need to wake up, cause it ain't like it used to be. At the top levels you are nothing more than a customer of a business now, so act like one. When the product sucks, find another one.

I know he's not good with his feet but I still feel like Donnarumma would be good for this United squad compared to the goalies they have now.

I feel like there's a real chance one of us can do better.

Uuuhmmm....you may not be wrong there. I played a little keeper in my time. At least I controlled my area and directed my defence.

They should just buy this Pym character...he's made a few banging saves thus far.

One possibility we haven't considered is Amorim bet on himself as first manager sacked. Probably had amazing odds.
